    I created an extranet site a about a year ago and the client has come back to us to implement a forum for the site.  The extranet was split into three different groups with members being registered to one of the three groups.  The forum needs to be split into three boards as well.  The site uses template groups and conditionals to ensure users login and enter the site they are registered to.  For instance, if I’m a member of group 1 the url would be http://mysite.com/group_1.  The template group ‘group_1’ contains all the templates necessary to render the different pages for each group.  I’d like to have the forums follow this same URL naming convention.  The forum for group 1 would be http://mysite.com/group_1/forums.  When I entered this URL into the forum preferences the forums fail to load.  I’ve tried creating unique trigger names for the forums and matching this to the URL as well.  I have also tested to see of the forums are working by simply using the default http://mysite.com/forums URL and trigger.  Everything worked as expected.  Is this possible and if so what am I doing wrong?

    Hi, stubear.

    Can you tell us which version/build of EE1.x you’re using? See EEWiki:// HowTo Determine My EE Version

    And the version of the forums?

    Are you using MSM at all, or would that be an option?

    I think I figured it out.  I found the “Running the Forums Through Regular Templates” section under Other Features in the documentation.  This is a small site so any performance hit should be minimal.
